Speed dating in Dallas over 40

Speed dating is back in Dallas, and many nights are now built for singles over 40. You get eight to fifteen short dates in one evening, and you only hear back from people who picked you too. Here is how it works, what it costs, and how to use it to find someone who wants a marriage that lasts.

How a speed dating night works

• Check in. You get a name tag and a score card or an app link.
• Short dates. Four to seven minutes each, then a bell, and one side moves seats.
• Pick. You mark yes or no for each person, privately.
• Matches. Only mutual yes answers get shared, usually the next day.

Tips for the night

• Ask one question about what they want next year. It tells you more than their job.
• Write one word about each person right after the bell. By date nine they blur.
• Say yes to anyone you would have coffee with. One coffee is cheap.
